GOLDEN SANDS PROPERTY Mr. Challacombe informed the Board that the oceanside portion of the Golden Sands parcel is 17.29 acres. In comparison Round Island is 80 acres, the Tracking Station Park is about 10, Wabasso Beach Park is about 1 and Ambersand is 1.5. All our County Parks on the Beach together total about 95 acres. The Golden Sands property is about 1� miles north of Wabasso Beach. Attorney Brandenburg explained that the acreage figures Mr. Challacombe is using are from the Property Appraiser's Tax Rolls, and they differ from the acreage figures from the surveys because they use different calculations in re figuring to the mean high water line or the dune line.- He stated that this property does have 1,145' frontage and an excellent depth. The Attorney continued -that he and Mr. Offutt negotiated this parcel with Mr. Deprez, who is from Switzerland and represents the various owners of the property. Mr. Deprez has now offered the county a different arrangement than presented in the backup material. He lowered the front foot price on the oceanside to $1,750 a front foot and then indicated his corporations would donate to the county four acres of property on the west side of AlA on either extreme of the parcel indicated as parcel 11. In addition to that, he would give the county a six months' option to buy the remainder of parcel 11, plus an additional six months right of first refusal. The price on this would work out to $2,000,250. Harry Offutt, member of the Beach Acquisition Committee, confirmed that one reason the committee liked the Golden Sands parcel was because of the flexibility of buying either one large parcel or. 1/3 or 2/3. He felt we were very lucky to have a substantial number of good propositions to look at and believed there is still quite a bit of competition out there as far as negotiations are concerned. 7 MAY 2 6 1983
